| Description of the problem | I have been hearing a loud noise behind my headlight on the drivers side for quite some time now. A few months back, my brakes didn't seem to work correctly and i rear ended someone. I am going through brake pads like crazy on my truck and my brakes still don't seem to work correctly. I was doing research and found out about the vacuum brake assist behind the driver side headlight. That's what's making that noise inder my hood & has got to be the problem for the loss of my brakes. If my brakes worked correctly i would have never rear ended car in front of me. I knew something was wrong at that point. & now i know the exact cause. But with everyone having this issue with the 2011-2012s, i think this is something that should be a recall. Ford should be the one paying for the wreck i got into since it's a common problem that's happening. Hopefully we could come to a conclusion before someone gets killed! I do have an accident report if you need more information from it. |
